Ok Greecies, I bid and won (yay!) a pretty large item (a chair). The seller let me know they were a two weeks behind on large shipments. Ok, no big deal and I let him know that it was ok to ship out in two weeks, even though he took the payment already. Two weeks go buy and no chair. I message him and he says it will go out this week and he'll email all the shipping details. Surprise another two weeks go buy and he says pretty much the same thing. So my question, wise Greecies, is what is my next course of action?

Why are the auctions so long? I want immediate gratification, dammit! I'm currently the high bidder on a poster that I really, really want but there is still 2 days left in the auction. I don't really want to spend more than $30.00 on it but it's already at $18.50 and my high bid is $20.00. The auction has been going on for 2 days now. I want the poster! I raised my bid to $30.00 and won it for $23.50. Take that hosebeast in the UK who was trying to outbid me. ;D

You can always withdraw the claim if they come through with the item.

This is only the second time I've bought something, so I only have 1 feedback rating. Some sellers won't sell to you if you don't have a minimum of 10. It's not a big deal, but... I got an e-mail saying that the poster had shipped. The seller said once I received it, to go ahead and put my feedback in and THEN they would give me my feedback. WTF? I paid for the thing 30 minutes after the auction ended. I know that they are waiting to see what I say before they do anything. Shitty.

Most sellers do this and I've ranted about it earlier in this thread. I always figure that as long as I've paid immediately I've pretty much done my part.

I think it happens to everybody. I figure sellers trust their buyers even less than buyers trust sellers. Maybe if the stupid feedback rating wasn't so bogus, the system would be more fair.

Most of my dealings with ebay have been that way. Some sellers do feedback immediately, others wait. The worst (although I did know in advance) was the company that only did feedback every 2-3 weeks, so it took nearly 2 months to get that stupid rating (it took them 2 weeks to ship to me, it took a week to get here, I did my feedback, and waited for 3 or 4 weeks until they got around to it. )

This is what I like to see - some healthy eBay rage. I swear, eBay rage is worse than road rage for me. If someone outsnipes me at the end I feel murderous and want to contact them and tell them to go to hell. But if I win I gloat and crow.
It's possible I'm a bad person.
Oh and to the poster who hasn't rec'd the item yet - it's definitely been long enough for you to file a Paypal claim.

Okay, I have questions about PayPal, because I am apparently stoopid. Right now, I think I have just the basic account so I can pay for stuff on eBay. If I want to sell things, and be able to receive payment through PayPal, do I have to upgrade my account? I get emails from PayPayl telling me to add a bank account to verify my account, or something--is that what I need to do in order to receive payments? Help?
